How to read a numerology chart.
Much of the following text was excerpted from the book Numerology; Key To Your Inner Self,
and is directed towards understanding the art of delineating a chart.
By the time you have read your personal numerology report, you will notice that virtually
every number is represented in your chart. This is true for most people. Naturally, this
can be confusing. The reason for this confusion is that we haven't learned to prioritize
the relative values of each number and its position in the chart.
The Life Path, for example, carries far more weight than the Maturity and Balance numbers.
In addition, each member of the core numbers (Life Path, Expression, Heart's Desire, Personality,
and Birth Day number) bears special significance to our personality. The Heart's Desire
represents your inner needs and motivations -- the more private you -- while the Personality
number reveals the public you; the face, or the mask, you show the world. It is what people
recognize first when they meet you. Your closer relationships, however, come in contact
with the personal, inner you, your Heart's Desire.
One of the benefits of numerology is to differentiate and to reveal the many aspects of
your personality and inner being. It also shows how aspects within you influence each other.
What follows is a short course in how to prioritize the numbers of the chart, to discern
their individual importance, and to show how each aspect of the chart relates to a specific
part of your being.
The Life Path number is by far the most important number in the chart. Your Life Path number
represents a cycle. The longest cycle of your life, it runs from the first day of your life
to the last day of your life.
Perhaps the most important concept to recognize, and probably the least understood, is
that all the numbers based on your date of birth reflect something about the "momentum"
of your life. The flow, the current which carries you forward, the stream of life. Therefore,
every number in your chart derived from your date of birth tells something about the direction
of your life, the path you walk on, and the opportunities and challenges you encounter.
Next, read the Birth Day number. In order of importance, the Birth Day number belongs in
fifth or sixth place, but it is closely related to the Life Path, and should be seen in
connection to it. Follow with the Expression number, which reveals your talents, abilities,
goals, and is particularly important in relation to career.
Then read the Heart's Desire, and understand it as the motivator behind virtually all of
your choices, in particular those related to life style and environment. Also, look at the
Minor Expression and Minor Heart's Desire as contributing influences to your overall ambitions
and personality. The Personality number completes this picture of the core numbers. Remember,
while the Personality number is the last of the core numbers, it is the first impression
people will get. The Personality number is usually what gets you hired, while the Expression
number is the greatest influence on how well you perform. The Heart's Desire number influences
the type of conditions you like to work under; alone or with people; in a small non-profit
organization, or in a big corporation; in the inner-city or in the country. The Heart's
Desire also influences your choice of career.
The core numbers outline the basic personality. The rest of the chart reflects a closer
look at you -- your many nuances, individual character traits, and strengths and weaknesses.
The Challenges follow, and are, in my opinion, among the most important sources of information
flowing from your chart. The Challenges, more than any other number, point to aspects of
your personality that you have to work on. They represent the first and most obvious obstacles
that stand between you and success.
Follow with the Maturity number, but keep in mind that it does not enter your life until
after the early thirties, after which its influence grows more important with age. The Maturity
number is a kind of secondary Life Path number. It adds specific challenges, as well as
abilities, to your life.
Next, read the Karmic Lessons, which reveal weaknesses or undeveloped areas. Follow with
the Hidden Passion, which reveals what you are good at, and what you love to do. Then go
to the Subconscious Self, which shows how confident and secure you are in the use of your
talents and abilities.
The Balance number stands somewhat apart, but is very revealing, particularly when you
are off-balance as a result of emotional turmoil. The Balance number reveals your strengths
in turbulent times.
The remainder of the chart is made up of the Bridge Number, Cornerstone, Capstone, First
Vowel, Rational Thought number, and Planes of Expression. Each of these areas is well defined
in the chart, and is easily identifiable as to the role it plays in your life. Each represents
subtle, but important aspects of your personality.
When you study a chart, first look at the individual numbers and their relative positions
in the chart. Next, look for numbers that will have a strong impact upon each other. (This
is an aspect of numerology that requires practice and takes time.) For example, what happens
when a person has a 1 Heart's Desire, an 8 Expression, and a 2 Personality? Or, what does
it mean when a person has three 4's among the core numbers, but many letters with the value
of 5 in the name? With practice, you will learn to read a chart with confidence and clarity.
